Chapter 235: Lobbyist!
The affairs of Biyun Pavilion are constantly fermenting, and Lu Zheng's fame in Jinling is getting bigger and bigger.
His two lyrics "Linjiang Immortal" and "Qingyu Case" have now become the hottest lyrics in Qinhuaihe, and the possible story between Lu Zheng and Biyun Pavilion and Jinling's number one Oiran Fan Duoduo has become the focus of heated discussions.
Before the Biyun Poetry Society, the people of Jinling had never heard the name Lu Zheng, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Lu Zheng became popular overnight.
Because of many people's attention, things about Lu Zheng's origin, origin, etc. have gradually been talked about, Lu Zheng is the son of the Lu family, he has not been tolerated by his mother-in-law since he was a child, and he was almost persecuted to death by his mother-in-law countless times.
He was sent to Yangzhou a few years ago, where Lu Zheng participated in the boys' examination, and was the first in the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination.
Lu Zheng returned to Jinling more than a month ago, but he did not live in Lu's house in Jiangning, but lived in Yingtian Liuhe County, worshiped Nie Yong in Liuhe County, and accepted the teacher's guidance.
Lu Zheng's experience was picked up within a few days, his experience is legendary enough, there are stories, and he can win people's sympathy, and Lu Zheng's name was even more promoted for a while.
There is also a saying that on the day of the Biyun Poetry Conference, Lu Zheng and Li Mu were both by Fan Duoduo's side, two men fought for a woman, Lu Zheng and Li Mu had a fierce literary fight, the result was a fiasco for Li Mu, after Lu Zheng's poem was made, Li Mu did not dare to lift the pen, and he left in a gray manner.
And after the Biyun Poetry Meeting, Li Mu immediately closed the door and thanked the guests, which seemed to confirm this statement, and almost everyone was very interested in this topic, because it meant that the position of the first genius in Jinling may have changed hands.
In addition, there is a more important point, that is, Fan Duoduo, the first flower of Jinling, has always been very detached, and now, the appearance of Lu Zheng seems to have finally made Fan Duoduo fall in love with him, and many years later, such a thing will still be a good story in Jinling.
……
Liuhe County, Biyun Building, this restaurant and Biyun Pavilion are only one word apart, and this alone can know that there must be the shadow of the Gu family behind Biyun Building.
Nie Yong is here today, Lu Zheng is accompanied, and the guest Nie Yong wants to invite is Cheng Hu, a staff general of the cavalry battalion of the Nanfu Army. Recently, Liuhe has been very lively, mainly because of the Biyun Poetry Club, Jinling talents gathered in Liuhe, and Lu Zheng's door was surrounded by water.
became famous too quickly, Lu Zheng was really caught off guard, in recent days, he simply lived in the county government to avoid the edge, and today's banquet for Cheng Hu is a key step for Lu Zheng to plan for Nie Yong.
According to Lu Zheng's plan, the fifth battalion of the Liuhe Nanfu Army should change its station, and one of the battalions should be stationed on the front line along the river.
In this regard, Lu Zheng did not hide his intentions, firstly, to find a breakthrough for Nie Yong to control the situation in Liuhe County, and on the other hand, to facilitate Zhan Tianqi to divide and rule the Nanfu army.
However, this matter is very simple to say, the Nanfu Army from the deputy general to the following generals are all old rivers and lakes, Nie Yong and Zhan Tianqi arranged for them to go down the mountain, will they be willing?
In order to achieve his goal, Nie Yong has privately used Zhan Tianqi's military orders to meet with a few generals, but the result is nothing, the good situation that Lu Zheng planned and planned was overshadowed by this one reason, if it can't be solved, all the arrangements Lu Zheng made before will be in vain.
Cheng Hu, the cavalry battalion of the Nanfu Army, is a typical northerner, and the thousands of cavalry under him were transferred from the Jiliao area, and they are worthy of the name. As the leader of such an army, Cheng Hu's beard, black face, and leopard head and eyes look like a living Zhang Fei at first glance.
At the banquet, after the guests and hosts sat down, Cheng Hu squinted at Nie Yong, then looked at Lu Zheng, smiled, and said:
"Scholars are the most scheming, my Lao Cheng is a rough person, don't use your fancy intestines on my Lao Cheng, if I really suffer, hehe, Lao Cheng turns his face and doesn't recognize people, but he wants people's lives!"
As soon as Cheng Hu said this, Nie Yong couldn't help but secretly complain, he had failed several times before, and this time he really didn't have confidence, so he set his sights on Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng lowered his head and pretended not to see it, Cheng Hu slapped the table and said, "That kid, don't pretend!" The reason why Lao Cheng went down the mountain to the banquet today is because he is here for you! Hehe, Qinhuaihe's ladies love to be pretty, and they don't look down on us like this, today I see that your kid looks like this, and I don't know what those ladies look at you, hehe, I don't accept it! ”
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said: "General Cheng, back then, you led five thousand tigers to fight against Beiyan in Jiliao, and three formations broke down the enemy camp, that is a hero, but now General Cheng has come to this land of fireworks in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Cheng Hu was stunned for a moment, stared at Lu Zheng with wide eyes, and said, "You kid, do you still know Lao Cheng's exploits back then?" The five thousand tiger ben under my seat are trained by me, as long as the emperor decrees, believe it or not, I can immediately take them to the north quickly, kill Jiliao within two days, and kill those northern Yanye species without leaving a piece of armor! ”
Lu Zheng sneered and said, "General Cheng, aren't you really afraid of flashing your tongue?" I, a weak and talented man in Jiangnan, still have doubts about whether the cavalry battalion of the Nanfu Army can stand again, let alone the imperial court, let alone the emperor? ”
Lu Zheng paused and said, "Soldiers, the country's major affairs are also." In recent years, there have been constant wars in the Jiliao area, and the imperial court has transferred all the soldiers and horses in the world in order to deal with Beiyan, and last year it was the general army of Sanyi Jiliao, why is there such a big movement, but there is nothing wrong with you Cheng Hu? The general is sometimes like a beauty, the beauty is easy to get old, and the general is the same, General Cheng Hu, just like you are now, hehe, just wait for this life to dry up and get old! ”
Cheng Hu slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and said, "You...... You...... Fart! I...... I...... You...... Come on, give me this kid ......."
"Okay, General Cheng, this is under the rule of Liuhe County, according to what law does General Cheng take me? Do you really think that with 5,000 iron cavalry in your hands, you can do whatever you want in Jiangnan and support your own troops? ”
Cheng Hu was stunned for a moment, his hand shook, and the chopsticks fell to the ground. As soon as the so-called connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was any, Cheng Hu and Lu Zheng just said a few words, he was in an absolutely passive position, and he couldn't vent his anger in his heart, and what Lu Zheng said made sense.
If the general does not fight on the battlefield, how is it different from the dry bones in the grave? It has been three years since Cheng Hu was transferred from the north to the south of the Yangtze River, and every day of the past three years has been like a year for him. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lu Zheng's words were said in his heart and made him miserable.
Nie Yong saw this scene on the side, and couldn't help but sigh inexplicably in his heart, he didn't expect Lu Zheng to know Cheng Hu so deeply, and he took the initiative after chatting a few words, Lu Zheng's sharp and witty Nie Yong was ashamed of himself.
However, things have come to this point, where does Nie Yong still not understand Lu Zheng's intentions? He immediately said: "General Cheng looks down on scholars, but the world is governed by scholars.
The general is dedicated to the country and is not afraid of the horse leather shroud, which is rare in the world. However, it may be difficult to realize your ambitions with the ability of a general, Brother Lu Jiazheng, the first genius in Jinling, you have such an opportunity today, don't ask for more advice, and when? ”
Cheng Hu let out a long breath, hugged his fists and said to Lu Zheng: "Master Lu, it was Cheng Hu who was reckless and offended before!" Since Gongzi Lu understands Cheng Hu's current difficulties, he must have a plan a long time ago, and Cheng Hu implored Gongzi to give him advice. ”
Lu Zheng stared at Cheng Hu with his eyes, smiled coldly, and said, "General Cheng, if you want to realize your ambitions, you must first understand what kind of army the Nanfu Army is!"
The first emperor suppressed the Jiangnan powerhouses, took the Nanfu Army, the private army of the Jiangnan powerhouses, into Dakang, disintegrated the five battalions of the Nanfu Army, and then transferred troops from all over the country to form a new Nanfu Army.
Just like General Cheng, he was originally a northerner, but now he has become a member of the Jiangnan Nanfu Army. The existence of the Nanfu Army is mainly to stabilize the south of the Yangtze River and guard the granary of Dakang.
In addition, the most important thing is to deter the Jiangnan authorities, so that the Jiangnan authorities do not dare to rebel. So General Cheng, the burden on your shoulders is actually very heavy, and you have a long way to go! ”
Cheng Hu sneered and said: "It's a long way to go, the Jiangnan power valve has long existed in name only, and it is just the Gu family that can encourage and support one or two at the moment." With the current Jiangnan power lords, they dare to rebel? ”
Lu Zheng clapped his hands and said, "That's right!" General Cheng has a good understanding of the situation, but the emperor is in the capital and lives in the temple, where can he understand and grasp all the powerful things in Jiangnan like a general?
General, if you can trust me, I can help you to ensure that within two years, you will definitely be able to get rid of the shackles of the Nanfu army, your five thousand tigers will have a chance to return to the north, and you will also have a chance to gallop on the battlefield again, how about it? ”
Lu Zheng's words were impassioned, Cheng Hu's eyes flashed, and his mood was extremely uncalm. Cheng Hu is a big boss on the surface, but in fact, his mind is very delicate and keen.
He knew Nie Yong's banquet this time, and he probably knew what was going on before he came. In his mind, unless the sun came out from the west, it would be impossible for him to be at the mercy of Nie Yong and let the Nanfu army go down the mountain, wouldn't that be to let the Nanfu army abandon its martial arts?
The Nanfu army is the army of the imperial court, the army of the emperor, and once it is divided and ruled, it is very likely that the Nanfu army will become the private soldiers of the courtiers. For example, this time Zhan Tianqi served as the governor of the Nanfu Army, everyone in the world knew that this person was the prince's henchman, if Zhan Tianqi was allowed to master the military power, wouldn't the Nanfu Army be owned by the East Palace?
However, what Cheng Hu never expected was that Lu Zheng was so powerful, and Cheng Hu felt that he had fallen into Lu Zheng's control unconsciously......
